Labour Court recommends acceptance of Prometric Ireland position on pay and conditions

The Labour Court recommended that the union accept Prometric Ireland Limited’s position on pay, working hours, and disciplinary and grievance procedures. The recommendation was dated 27 July 2004. The company was willing to discuss a phased, retrospective response to pay shortfalls against national agreements, negotiate individual contracts with minimum hours reflecting business levels, and complete revised procedures by the end of September 2004. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union said pay and hours lagged comparable work and that the procedures were inadequate. The Court considered the company’s position on all three issues reasonable.
